  • Bathroom renovation costs?

    Hi all, I've just bought my first house and the bathroom is in great need of renovations. Theoretically, it's an old bathroom that needs a basic renovation. Basic taps, shower/bath, basin+pedastal etc everything in same place. No Plastering needed, no paint needed lino floor, pvc plastic 4 sheets needed. No fancy stuff or extras. My cheapest quote was £7,500 i got from bathroom businesses and it's over budget for me. I'm thinking about doing part of it myself, or contacting a sole trader. Could anyone give me a rough idea of how much that would cost? It's a small bathroom that literally only just about fits that stuff, very narrow. Thanks in advance

    Opening up a bricked up fireplace?

    Hi, I was wondering about the logistics of opening up a bricked up fireplace. This will purely be decorative so the chimney won't need to be opened, just the fireplace itself so that an antique surround can be inserted. - I was wondering if this is likely to need any sort of planning approval? - How long it would usually take to open up a fireplace? - Rough ballpark of how much it should cost? Many thanks

    Decorative edge between paving and raised beds

    I am having some paving laid for a pergola. The paving on one side has a raised flower bed - the back is a garage wall and other side is grass. The builder suggests leaving a gap between the paving and the raised bed and walk around 6 inches and to fill with decorative stone - is this better than butting up against everything like the rest of the paving around the house?

    Bonding gutter dispute

    We have replaced our roof and the roofer has used a dry bonding gutter between ours and the adjoining roof. The neighbour does not like the appearance of the up-stand between the properties. We have tried to explain that this is the recommended method as mortar can cause other problems. I’m not sure how far this will go, but I was wondering whether the gutter could be moved on to our side of the divide without causing more issues.
